	Some dude named "Frantz" won the Tour de Frantz, uh, France. Nice. Luxembourg representin'!

	Gaaah. What have I done? This is impossible and I wrote it. (1/33 on the first attempt... It's a while since I submitted this.)

	What was the deeper thought for separating this from the after-WW2 winners?

	davidr:	Nov 17th, 2008 at 00:42 GMT	0 points
	I imagine it was just to keep the size of the quiz manageable, especially given that it wasn't obvious that too many people would be interested. (Observe how the Giro d'Italia quiz tanked, for example.)

	Considering we had "capitals of the world" and "all the popes" quizzes I don't think size would be an objection :D On the "people interested"-argument: I think that's just a matter of your target audience. Which is currently the Anglican world. Quizzes like this do a lot better in continental Europe than the other sports quizzes. I encourage these quizzes to broaden the audience ;)

	I'm French and I only got 9... This quizz was very tough.

	@Anon: There have been some big quizzes, yes -- the ones you mention, countries of the world, the two Pokemon ones and a couple about US college sports. Most of those were things that lots of people were specifically asking for and half of them have been posted in the last few weeks, after the Tour game. The great majority of quizzes here have under thirty answers.

	James, there's no way this is the worst quiz on Sporcle. The worst quiz would be one that's ill-defined or highly subjective. This is just an UNPOPULAR quiz, and there's a big difference between "unpopular" and "bad". (See also "Psychonauts", "Pushing Daisies", and my favorite band, Splashdown- all are wonderful, but all are unpopular.) With that said, congrats to David for making the least-played quiz in Sporcle history!

	laugh Thank you, kicking222.

	There are good milestones, but there are also bad milestones. This quiz is the least popular quizzes on Sporcle.com. Some quiz has got to be on the bottom. So far, it has been played 219 times and crawling

	GeoExpert:	May 25th, 2009 at 01:11 GMT	5 points
	@James. This is not the worst quiz it is just the least popular. Yes, it is a hard quiz and I got 0 right just like you. The worst quiz is the area code quiz.

	It is sad all the comments on here sound like we are speaking at this quiz's funeral :(

	GeoExpert:	Jul 10th, 2009 at 17:53 GMT	2 points
	Looks like "Everworld Books" might be least played now

	Kicking222:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 15:57 GMT	3 points
	Yeah, there's no way "Everworld" will ever (no pun intended) overtake this one in times played. We have a new champion... though the fact that Sporcle says this quiz has been taken negative-one time today is somewhat disconcerting.

	More cycling quizzes please! Being european, this quiz is much easier for me than all the NFL or NHL quizzes.

	Just puzzled a half minute about the word Merckx, and then I remembered it was after WWII ^^'

	I like this quiz a lot - can see myself doing it time and again, a way of honouring men who lived hard lives

	are you kdding me? who in the world would know this? haha

	Brilliant quiz. I can imagine it's too difficult when the only cyclist you know is Lance Armstrong...

	fosse8:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 19:52 GMT	3 points
	There are towns in Europe where bars are named after these people, and nobody's ever heard of Wayne Gretzky, Red Auerbach or Knute Rockne.

	As a cycling fan, this is unbelievably hard. The only thing I can remember about the 1904 TdF is that something like the top 8 including Maurice Garin were all disqualified for cheating. Some things never change at leats.

	tommykl:	Jul 16th, 2011 at 17:11 GMT	2 points
	I got them all, but I'm a real TdF buff. pbulkers, it was the top 4 and some others who were disqualified for various infringements, with Cornet promoted to the win and becoming the youngest ever TdF winner.
